Edwards, machinist at the Gaylord colliery of the Kingston Coal Co., Plymouth, fell from a trestling at the colliery yesterday afternoon at 2:30 sustaining injuries so serious that he died last night at 7 o'clock. He was superintending the tearing down of an old trestling and was about to step from one plank to another. He missed his footing and fell to the ground, a distance of about 35 feet. No bones were broken but serious internal injuries were sustained. He suffered intense pain until death relieved him. No man in Plymouth was better known or more generally liked than the deceased. He was born in Wales about 37 years ago [age corrected to 31 in 31 Aug 1895 issue], coming to America at an early age. He learned the trade of a machinist and was recognized as one of the most skilled machinists in the valley. He had been employed almost all his life by the Kingston Coal Co., except for a short time when he was boss machinist for Simpson & Watkins. He was a widower." Nancy Cook Pasadena, MD, USA
